Got a Master Box 1/72 Austin Armoured Car with a view to converting it to the Peerless version.The armoured body is almost identical in both but the latter has a longer chassis.I thought I could modify the kit with the parts included but soon realised that a second kit was needed. I`d already started before I thought I would post it.I had to shorten the engine compartment to begin with and have begun to slice and dice the chassis. So far so good and with a bit of care and plastic card it should work out. Something I discovered while researching the vehicle was the actual location depicted in the photo.It always reads "somewhere in Cork" or "Cork City". However something it the photo reminded me of a particular spot and on calling and comparing photos I discovered it is Passage West about 300m from where it was landed in 1922.
